Let’s love on Reese for a minute. (Yes - Witherspoon.)

Did you know she won an Academy Award way back in 2005 for portraying June Carter in the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line?

Talk about "making it," right? Young, gorgeous, talented … the Hollywood Trifecta. A real Leading Lady.

You’d think she had it all (picking and choosing her roles, respected everywhere, catered to like a queen, wealthy beyond her wildest dreams).

Except … her story doesn’t play out like that.

She went on to "lead" in a string of forgettable rom com fluff movies (How Do You Know, Four Christmases, This Means War) in the riveting role of Girl Unsure About Her Guy / Which Guy.

She was paid less than men with equivalent credentials. Her ideas were sometimes entertained but usually not acted upon.

Until one day she got really sick of the status quo and the whole barely-scratching-the-surface-of-her-potential thing and said...

"F this, I’m going to start my own damn production company!"

(That’s totally not a direct quote btw. Though maybe it is.)

Anyway…

Boom:

Wild, Gone Girl, Big Little Lies, The Morning Show (and about 20 more, most still in production).

Complex, challenging roles. Accolades. Award nominations (and wins!). Respect. FREEDOM.

Some things she stars in, some she doesn’t.

But *this* for all of them:

-- SHE calls the shots
-- SHE chooses the script
-- SHE ok’s the cast
-- SHE brings HER vision to life
-- She has a seat at the table in a way that she NEVER had before.

So what changed?

SHE did.

Nothing changed on the outside...

Nobody gave her the permission slip.
She didn’t keep "working her way up" and "playing the game."
She didn’t wait for the right time or the stars to align.

She knew deep down that she was capable of more, and decided to start acting like it.

Yes, it was scary.
Of course she second-guessed herself.
No she didn’t do it all alone; she had support (smart lady).

Usually when clients seek me out, it’s for help with something they think they lack.

But the most important thing they leave with is always what we unlock (and then nurture) from within.

Sure, I like a good geek-fest on tactics and how-tos. But what I really do is teach entrepreneurs how to show up and own it and think like and ACT like one.

(A very unique and successful one, naturally!)

Reese always had that inner power woman, waiting to shine. The Emmys and fans and box office cash are a natural result of allowing it.

She stopped playing by "the rules" … and made her own rules.

Her own uncommon way.

Here’s to yours,

💛 Jenna

P.S. Once you’ve truly decided, there’s (literally) no good reason not to go all in and start acting the part, including getting the support you deserve. If you’re an entrepreneur who is actively earning money, ready to level up, and looking to find "your" coach who can help you holistically (business+life) on an ongoing basis, let’s see if it makes sense to join forces.
